I think the person asking the question meant to say OldTestament. Neither the Old nor the New Testament was called that until they were compiled as The Bible in the late 14th century.

NO. The Early Christians called the Ancient Holy Writings of the Jews as the OLD TESTAMENT and considered the words and acts of Jesus and his apostles to be the New Testament.

What did the early christian called the Hebrews scriptures they adopted?

Being that most of Christ's teachings were based on the Hebrew writings, early Christians referred to the Jewish TaNaK, which is the Hebrew Bible. Many of the different books of the New Testament were originally written and published separately, so many early Christians added them to their Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, called the Septuagint. It wasn't until the books of the New Covenant, or the New Testament, were beginning to be canonized into an organized Christian bible, with the books of the TaNaK at it's basis, when the Hebrew texts were seen as the Old Testament.
